REVIEWER RATING 5/5

Righteous Jams had me won over since the day they came up with their name. Straight-edge hardcore, 10 songs taking up only 13 minutes, and top fucking quality music. Plus, they named their album Rage of Discipline. I would have stuck with a simple ‘Rage,’ but than again, that would probably get them sued by Tom Morello or the dude with the tattoos. You know, it’s amazing that Rage Against the Machine was able to get away with making millions of dollars on a major label deal and not be branded as hypocrites.

So back to the straight-edge drinking. Track number 5, “No Glory,” goes like this: “Don’t talk to me about your cheap thrills / because I know mine are better / don’t talk to me about growing up / when you don’t even know the first letter / don’t brag to me about your fake fun / don’t tell me that you think for yourself / don’t tell me who is better off / because you just proved that you’re all talk.” Whoa, pass me the brews!

Even better, the sixth track, “Invasion,” only has two lines, and you don’t even need to read between them! “Invasion used to be this band / but now we’re playing Righteous Jams!”

For a long time I’ve wanted to start a lyrically straight-edge band, but just get wasted at every show. Righteous Jams have solidified that dream.

I just got a little piece of my foot cut off at the hospital today and I have to stay off my feet for a while, so all I’m going to do for the next few days is listen to this album. When it’s healed, maybe I’ll go and get some more cut off so I have an excuse to do nothing else but listen to this longer.

The jams are pretty righteous.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Ol Hardcore
Into old school hardcore in the 80’s vein a la D.R.I. and Minor Threat? Then this EP is right up your alley. Straight up, Righteous Jams is what old school hardcore is all about. Rage of Discipline is the first release from Kung Fu Records since pairing up with Broken Sounds, and is actually a reissue of Righteous Jams’ 2004 EP, originally on Broken Sounds.

The 9 songs that comprise the album only last 13 minutes, so needless to say, they like to keep things brief. Normally, such short tracks are fast and brutal, but Righteous Jams doesn’t really fit with the fast and angry hardcore we are so used to hearing these days. Instead, they opt for mid-paced, simple riffs and basic drum patterns that are really more fun than anything.

More bands should do this sort of thing instead of being all about the brutal stuff, and macho breakdowns. That kind of thing definitely has its place, but there is something about the classic 80’s hardcore sound that can’t be found anywhere else… and Righteous Jams nail it.

5.0 out of 5 stars review from Synthesis
This is a public service announcement: The band you are reading about does not play reggae music. The name is a false cognate in the language of genres. Please do not attempt to get high and grow dreadlocks while listening to this album. This album is intended for hardcore audiences only. You will not find bongos here. This sounds like Black Flag after getting monster truck wheels put on. has been known to inflict listeners with extreme urges to ninja-core dance all night long. We urge you to enjoy this album as much as possible. We now return you to your original program. Please remember to rock out.
